I'm unsure of whether my scripts and binaries are in the right place, or whether I
have some left over from a previous installation attempt that should be removed.
My successful installation was from source with the config option
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql
For example, if f I do "which mysql_install_db" I get:
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin
/usr/local/mysql-3.22.30/client/.libs/mysqladmin
/usr/local/mysql-3.22.30/client/mysqladmin
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin
Should I get rid of all executables in /usr/local/bin?
